Research Scientist

Description

Are you interested in working on challenging computer vision problems and having a real impact on people's health? Read on as this opportunity might be for you..

AiCure is a VC-funded startup that leverages mobile technology by combining it with artificial intelligence (computer vision, machine learning, big data) to bring better health, better drugs, and better treatment to everyone on the planet. We’re rapidly expanding and if you’re passionate about making a positive impact, we’d like to hear from you!

You will play a leading role in creating algorithms to solve challenging problems in computer vision on mobile devices. Your work will make a significant impact on our products, and on healthcare for everyone on the planet.

When participants in clinical trials, or patients in population health use the AiCure apps, information on their medication intake is reported in various dashboard products, which allow stakeholders to gain insights and to take actions (patient alerts, etc.). For example, our apps use computer vision to identify the patient (face recognition), verify that patients are taking the right medication (pill recognition), and that they are actually taking their medication (action recognition).

Your mission will be to invent new algorithms and methods to perform the computer vision tasks above (and several more as we continue to expand our product line), ensuring that they outperform the state of the art and work effectively and efficiently in challenging real world scenarios.

Outstanding analytical skills and the ability to take a practical approach to solving problems in real-world settings.

Ability to work well with engineers to improve the state of the art and impact our products.

Extremely detail-, design-, and user-focused.

Excellent communication skills at every level (product, tech team).

Excellent time and project management skills.

Highly creative, with an outstanding ability to build innovative solutions.

Passionate about revolutionizing healthcare and having a positive impact on individuals and everyone on the planet.

Experience in healthcare is NOT required.
